The Weight” is the title of a 1968 song by The Band. The song was composed by The Band’s Robbie Robertson and appears originally on The Band’s first album, Music from Big Pink.
We’ve only played through this song a couple of times but it’s a great song. Maybe it will make its way back in the rotation.

Think this was one of the first times we played the song. This pacticular track was the 3rd time through and for whatever reason we jacked the tempo way up.
It was about time we had our first Band Party of the Year. I think everyone had a great time, I know I did. I’m not much of a story teller so I’ll just let the pictures and audio tell the story.
a: the cops show up – during the sound check
b: there are jello shooters
c: the drummer is wearing rhinestones
d: there’s a dogfight
e: the police are quoting your lyrics the second time they show up
f: all of the above
Write your answer down. There will be a test later.
If you didn’t make it to the “First Annual Big Hand At The Lake Party” part deux, then shame on you. If you were on the invitation list and didn’t show up, then you should hide your face in public. If you weren’t on the list, it ain’t that hard to get there. Just ask. There was much merriment. The Big Hand extended family knows how to throw down.
Big Hand Dave knows how to throw a party. We had a really good time yesterday. Rodney said it best when he said he wished it could have lasted all night.
You know it’s going to be a good party when:
